The news this morning...

[fajrdrako]

I regularly get my breakfast at the Loeb grocery store on Rideau, across the street from the Ottawa Little Theatre. I get the small caesar salad, costing $3.29. I've been doing this for maybe a year now.

About six months ago, they changed their supplier or something, and suddenly they were making caesar salad with raw onion in it. Grumpy about this, I wrote to the manager of the store protesting - raw onion is just improper in a decent caesar salad. They never answered my letter. So for six months, I've been buying the salad, and then then carefully picking out the onion. Waste of time.

Today there was no onion in my salad. After six months, did they finally listen to my letter? Or was it a fluke, they ran out of onions this mornings? We'll see what I get tomorrow.

And it's cold. Temperatures below freezing. Frozen puddles. Winter coat weather. Of course, two months from now, temperatures of a couple of degrees below zero would sound like balmy luxury, but we're not there yet. I think I need warmer gloves already.
